Shake Regularly. Store in a cool, dry place.

Lately I’ve been feeling… not uneasy, antsy, I don’t know the word. And I’ve realized its because its been a while since I’ve been/seen/done something completely different and new. I have this need to explore, even if its just walking down a street I’ve never been down before (which is hard in Bequia with its 3 streets). Anyways, I was able to place that feeling and do something about it today.


It seems like a month (instead of just a week) since my last day off, but today it finally arrived and with Pia and a random dog we found on the beach (now named Flu and sitting outside my door) we set off to explore the peninsula on the eastern side of our bay. Topographically speaking (I’ve had the urge to start a sentence like this all day) it’s a pretty small area, but there’s so many different, umm… land-things!


We began walking through a dry jungly area- well we really went swimming and lazed on the beach first- then got to a part with only small wind-blown shrubs which led into huge patches of naked rock hill, then into cliffs being pounded by the windward waves. Just across was another smaller beach- Ravine bay- and we continued around to decorate the ruins of an old hotel (more about this in a later post) then randomly a huge swath of prairie grass appeared with more wind-blown and twisted trees, cliffs, then back to jungle and back to beach.


And even though this was right next to my place it was so nice to explore something new, and now I feel satisfied again. So to keep my curiosity at bay we’re planning a 3-day volcano hike in early Feb, a sail to the Tobago keys (Amazing amazing marine park and uninhabited islands a bit south) and hopefully soon taking a few days to ferry down to the southern Grenadine islands of Canouan (yes Nadja, in a Canoe) Union and Mayreau.
